Cities: Skylines 2 was not in great shape when it launched in 2023. The underlying game was quite good but it was plagued with performance problems and missing a number of features, most notably an editor. That sparked a quick backlash on Steam, visible in the «mixed» user rating, but it also kicked off what Colossal Order CEO Mariina Hallikainen described as «a growing tendency of toxicity in our community.»
Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller has apologized for last week's announcement of upcoming changes that will grant every tank and DPS hero a self-healing ability, saying that there's a whole host of changes coming to the game in season 9 and talking about this one out of context «was a mistake.»
Rocksteady has dropped the final PC system requirements for the soon-to-be-live Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and on the whole they're pretty light—although if you still haven't upgraded to an SSD, now might be the time.
In February 2022, a group of CD Projekt veterans headed up by Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz announced the launch of a new studio called Rebel Wolves and teased its first project with a bit of concept art that Rich Stanton said gave him «strong vampire vibes.» Today, two years later, the studio finally dropped the game's title and some new art, and you know what?

Netflix announced today that Laurence Fishburne, the wise man Morpheus from the Matrix films, will be joining the cast of The Witcher as Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzieff-Godefroy—or as his friends know him, Regis.
Bethesda announced on Twitter today that the «biggest Starfield update yet» is headed to beta testing on Steam next week. This isn't the start of the big gameplay updates Bethesda promised in December, though: Instead it looks to be a pretty standard patch, making «more than 100 fixes and improvements» to graphics, gameplay issues, and quest bugs.
Capcom is facing accusations from fans that it's quietly adding new DRM to its older games on PC, in what appears to be an attempt to crack down on the use of mods. But the process went from «quiet» to «very noisy» after a recent update to Resident Evil Revelations caused slowdown and crashes, and prevented some mods from working. Shortly after the update went live Capcom rolled it back, but said it will be re-released once the problem is resolved.
